The advantage of having one person do it (and do it over a short period of time) is that you end up with a fairly uniform "voice" across the whole set of notes. Since we lack a professional copy editor, we'd have a hard time coming out with something that wasn't pretty obviously a patchwork if several people did bits of it. In any case, the release notes aren't normally a bottleneck. I still think that Bruce had his priorities out of whack in not cleaning up his open-items list before doing this. If he had done so, nobody would have noticed how long the notes took. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
